Shame Affect

Famous quotes containing the words shame and/or affect:

    Here dead lie we because we did not choose
    To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
    Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose;
    But young men think it is, and we were young.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    Men of all professions affect such an air and appearance as to seem to be what they wish to be believed to be—so that one might say the whole world is made up of nothing but appearances.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
